That's all the databank gives to Lobot. I'm not sure why this bothers me, but it seems like there should be more info. Why did he agree to have that thing strapped to his head? Is his hearing affected in the same way as Jordy LaForge's vision?

I've officially out worded the databank entry (go ahead, I'll wait while you count that first paragraph) which gives no concrete info on this guy that has a computer implanted on his head so that he can interface with the City's Central Computer. Yikes. That would be like me having my iPod used as an cochlear implant. Actually, that doesn't sound half bad.

So what kind of freak says, "yeah, I like my job so much I want to be physically attached to it forever." Scratch the iPod idea. This would be more like me having my oboe surgically implanted in my lips. Kill me please. The only thing worse would be having my neon pink & green banana comb from 1987 sewn to my eyes so I could see heat fluctuations.

What is it about Lobot that has my mind reeling tonight? Watching ESB the other day, it just seemed weird that this man follows every single order Lando types into that arm band controller. He's not a cyborg or a computer, he's a man & he just does whatever Lando says. He also hangs out in a little recharging station not unlike Darth Vader's meditation chamber. I wonder what Lobot thinks about when he's all alone in his little room?

And what becomes of him after the Imperials take over Cloud City? Does he flee, remembering to loot the city clean of all the USB cables he can hang on to, or does he eventually go to work for the imperials? He already sort of dresses like one of them and his mindless obedience would certainly serve him well on the bridge of a Star Destroyer.

Perhaps Lobot is the first humanoid to cross between real life & the matrix. The world is just a complex series of ones and zeros and he's the only one that can make sense of it all. And when the stuff came down on Cloud City, he just plugged into the system and became the GFFA's first lawnmowerman.

Long live Lobot.
